#2492: ghc-pkg insists on having HOME environment variable set
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: gnezdo | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.8.2 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: Unknown | Os: Linux
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Even in cases when it should not need it, ghc-pkg still fails if
HOME is unset:
{{{
% env - ~/bin/ghc-pkg --global list
ghc-pkg.bin: HOME: getEnv: does not exist (no environment variable)
}}}
Yet, if I just set the variable to a dummy value, ghc-pkg is happy:
{{{
% env - HOME=/non-existent ~/bin/ghc-pkg --global list
.../lib/ghc-6.8.2/package.conf:
Cabal-1.2.3.0, HUnit-1.2.0.0, QuickCheck-1.1.0.0, array-0.1.0.0,
base-3.0.1.0, bytestring-0.9.0.1, cgi-3001.1.5.1,
containers-0.1.0.1, directory-1.0.0.0, fgl-5.4.1.1,
...
}}}
